段子：
1.据说外国人都奇怪为何中国人用电视遥控器总爱加一个遥控器套，我们自己分析估计有以下几点：1、遥控器是样神奇而伟大的东西，所以要以敬神的态度来保护；2、怕坏怕摔，中国人的家里总是小孩很多，小孩不看重遥控器；3、认为没了遥控器就没了电视机，中国人经不起失去；4、怕沾油，中国人热爱在餐桌上按遥控器看电视。遥控器套显示着阶层的档次，这是大多数正在小康中的家庭的标志符号。

2.2003年的上海不再是一个怀旧的上海，在成功申办2010年世博会之后，现今的上海是一个生机勃勃、直冲向前的上海。那股子浸入骨髓的怀旧情绪也自然而然地化作了中国第一个真正意义上的国际化大都市的陪衬，它止于怀旧而致力于给更多的外来者提供梦想。与之相对的北京，经过了2001、2002年的激情燃烧、城区也扩建到六环，此时此刻重温所剩不多的物质回忆自然也就在情理之中。

3.由于市场环境和市场发育的原因，中国品牌的整体实力尚不能与国外的名牌相抗衡，而LOGO正是品牌力量薄弱的表现之一。看到IBM的LOGO，立刻就会联想到高价、优质的计算机，这主要是因为IBM这个品牌的成功，让IBM的LOGO具有渗透力，消费者将更多的信息与这个LOGO联系在了一起。中国的LOGO之弱同样也反映了中国品牌在竞争中的某种弱势。

1.译文：
It is said the foreign people can never understand why the Chinese people should keep their remote controller of the televisions in a sheath. We believe there are mainly three reasons. First, the remote controller is something mysterious and great asking for pious protection; secondly, it is something vulnerable. The Chinese families are characterized by their large number of children who are not so respectful towards the remote controller; thirdly, the remote controller is believed to be something inseparable with the television, and thus can not be afforded to lose. Fourthly, the remote controller can not bear the least contamination of oil while the Chinese people like to watch television when eating. The sheath for the remote controller, a symbol for the particular status in China, offers a good evidence for China on its way to the well-off country.

2.译文：
The Shanghai in 2003 is no longer a city with nothing but a good
history. After it succeeded in winning the bidding for the holding of the Expo 2010, the Shanghai of today is a city full of vitality and well on its way ahead. The nostalgia(reminiscence) that used to sink inits residents has naturally become invisible here in Shanghai, now a real international city offering dreams for more and more immigrants. Comparatively, Beijing, enjoyed its prime time in the years 2001 and 2002 when its city proper was expanded until the 6th ring road. Given that,it is quite easy to understand why Beijing is rather nostalgic(reminiscent)about its prosperous past.

3.译文：
Because of the poor environment of market and the resultant
underdevelopment market, the home brands can not compete with those foreign ones yet. LOGO is something taking the value of the product being advertised. The LOGO “IBM” reminds people of the expensive and high-quality computer. That is mainly because the success of “IBM” makes the consumers attribute more to the LOGO “IBM”. The plainness also reflects the poor position taken by the Chinese brands in competition.

段子：

1.早就知道有可视电话，但中国家庭的电话基本上不可视；拍下那么多照片，一直要通过网络才能传输；发了那么多条短信，只不过训练了手机打字——直到彩信出现。彩信延伸了读图时代的影像(其实也就是进行了读图的改革)，所要做的仅仅是点播，然后等待传送，观看。可以点播某个主持人的电视节目，点播MTV，把手机上的摄影头拍的图片即时发送出去……这已经越来越不像是一部电话了。通讯，就这样一步步惊艳起来。

2.一条黄浦江将上海分成了浦东浦西，每到晨昏时分，数不清的人像候鸟般做着每天一次的频繁迁徙，在一边休憩，到另一边觅食。在贯穿浦江两岸的地铁二号线里，上下班高峰期时，整个列车像是由一节节巨大的罐头连接而成的腊肠，想在人堆里保持体面是一件相当不容易的事情，每当此时，陆家嘴总是一个让人期待的站台。如果是下班，从浦西卷过来的人浪在这里已经逐渐衰落，如果是上班，此时的车厢还没有那么拥挤。更为重要的是，因为总是能够看到这个城市里打扮得最为光鲜的职业人群在这里出现，和地铁上空那些属于未来的建筑一样，他们总是能够让人联想起这个城市的最为光明的一面--他们都是这座城市的新兴阶层，职业经理人、专业人士、高级白领，和各种各样的中产。

3.不管你是否意识到，汽车已融入了你的生活；不管你是否拥有一辆爱车，香车已装饰了你的梦。汽车代表的不仅仅是一辆有4个轮子的交通工具了，还是一种新生活态度。而且，汽车广告早已不像“有山必有路，有路必有××车”那么简单了。单纯卖车已经没有多少人会买你的账了。汽车商在售卖汽车之前，先要把一种与车相关的新生活方式卖给你。
Whether you have noticed or not, automobile has slided into your life. Whether you have possessed a car or not, it has become your dream. Now, the automobile is not only representative of a vehicle with four wheels, but a new life attitude. However, automobile advertisement is also not simple just like that there must be a road in mountain, there must be cars on the road. Single saling a car will not attract more poeple, so automobile manufacturers will sale you a new life way associated with the cars before saling a car. .现在电子贺卡凭借免费、环保和传送迅捷等优势，成为上网一族的首选。

The walkman has been selling well for two decades since its introduction, with 200 million having been sold globally.

段子：

1.私家车与商品房在争夺人们心中消费第一支出的位置，这本身就是对传统安居乐业观念的超越与颠覆。买商品房是一种相当静态的保值型投资，这种不动产提供的封闭空间，客观上将人的生活固定在一种保守的模式上；而买车是一种积极的动态投资，就汽车本身来说会越来越贬值，但在社交的意义和精神需要上，它能自由地将人带往很远的地方和更大的圈子，使人与城市产生更活跃的交流。

2.电子邮箱收费已经成了潮流，想当初网站们战战兢兢地宣布，明天我要收费了……被网民骂得狗血喷头；而网络游戏开口向玩家要钱，确实是周瑜打黄盖，一个愿打一个愿挨——尽管有些游戏运营商也够黑的——业界对网络游戏对玩家的黏度很有信心，昱泉总经理李慈泉就说：“就怕你不来玩，来了你就跑不掉。”

3.短信息带来的文明革命的典型图景在日本。东京地铁与街头每天出现的景象足以让社会学家和心理学家都瞠目结舌：成千上万的人群，既有那些染着各种颜色头发的少年人，也有背负家庭责任的主妇以及一辆严肃的办公室一族，都不约而同拿地着各种颜色手机，不断地用拇指在手机上按动，对于他们来说，通过手机进入移动运营商DoCoMo提供的平台，就能上网闲聊、交换电子邮件和照片、收听音乐、算命、玩游戏、定约会，甚至是买鲜花和卖股票。事实上，这已经不仅仅是一种时尚，而是日本人在十年经济低迷之后为自己找到的一种最合适的沟通、娱乐和生活方式。

1.译文：The fact that private cars are competing with commodity houses to be the first consideration in peoples consumption itself shows that the traditional idea of sticking to a certain place is challenged. The purchase of commodity houses is a kind of inflation proof investment. By limiting people in an isolated space, houses provide a type of conservative lifestyle. The purchase of private cars, however, is greatly different in that the private cars can easily take people to remoter places and into larger societies to have a wider communication in the city, no matter socially or spiritually, although the cars begin to devalue the very moment people buy them.

2.译文：To charge for the use of email boxes has become a practice well accepted. That is in sharp contrast with the past when the various websites were blamed fiercely by the netizens simply because these websites attempted to charge the email box services. The cyber games operators followed a different way by charging for their service the very moment the players begin to use them. Despite of the existence of some bad operators, the players are satisfied with most operators and are ready to pay for their consumption.
Websites are fully confident of the attraction of their games. The only worry of us is that you do not want to try the cyber games, because you can never give it up once you have begun.Li Ciquan, general manager of Yiquan said.

3.译文：SMS enjoys the greatest revolution in
Japan. Sociologists and psychologists are shocked at the scene down in the subway or up on the streets in Tokyo: thousands of people, the young with their hair dyed in different colors, the housewives tending for the whole family, and the salarymen with their serious appearance, are busy with their pressing on the buttons of the various mobile phones.After getting to the platform provides by DoCoMo, the mobile operator, they can, on the net, chat, send or receive emails, exchange photos, listen to music, have fortune-telling, play games, make appointments, or even buy flowers or sell stocks.

段子：

今日在外滩这些百年大楼内办公的新一代白领，无疑是上海最上层最精英的白领一族，月入六、七千元以上的比比皆是，万元上下的也不足为奇。他们大多是年轻的俊男美女，加之上海人从来有讲究生活质素的传统，这些人只要拿出一半的工资用来买衣服，再加现今上海人大多是独生子女，毋需拿钱补贴家用，他们完全可以十分潇洒地进行高消费。

Today, a new generation of white-collars, who work in the buildings of nearly 100-year history in Bund, is undoubtedly the upper class of the elites in Shanghai. Those with the salary more than 6000 or 7000 yuan can be found everywhere, and also include the ones reaching about 10 thousand yuan. Most of them are handsome boys and pretty girls.

Raising the people’s living standards in both urban and rural areas is the basic goal of our economic development and a crucial factor for expanding domestic demand and stimulating sustained economic growth.

段子：

毫无疑问，20世纪70年代成长于一个承前启后的年代。他们站在一个割裂的缝隙中，从一个大的板块跳往另一个大的板块。他们的每一步成长都伴随着新的板块的形成，每一个环节都细微地嵌合在时代前行的车轮中。或许，就像越是生长在变化的环境中生物的生命力越强一样，“七十年代”至少具备了很强的适应和生存能力。

Obviously, those who were born in 70s of 20th century are the generation connecting between the preceding and following. Now, they are standing in a splitting gap, jumping from one block to anothe, growing up with every step in company with the formation of a new block, and every link embeded in times advancing wheels. Perhaps, as the lifes have a characteristic that the more variable environment they grow up, the stronger vitality they develop, the 70s at least have the strong ablility for adaptation and subsistence. 1.

段子：

麦当劳不仅把中国人带进一种新的餐饮方式，还使他们接受一种新的行为举止。这些行为举止表明，他们在接受麦当劳快餐的同时，也逐步接受伴随而来的外国餐桌行为文化。这种餐桌行为文化简洁地依靠一股温暖的纯黄便体现出来，这使中国人对这种外来饮食模式空前认同。于是，试图将中餐与麦当劳分店形式结合起来的尝试出现了，我们也在各大城市里看到了各种中餐连锁店。它们的色调是橙色的，正如红加上黄。专家们研究表明，橙色是最能勾起食欲的颜色。无怪乎中西合璧之后的餐饮行当，无不是取调于这二者的均衡。

Micdoland has not only brought Chinese a new way of having meal,but also made them accept a new behavior manner.The result shows that while they accepted the Micdoland quick meal, they also accpeted the foreign culture of meal with it.The culture is expressed by a warm pure yellow and this made the Chinese be unanimous.What's more,it appears to try to mix the Chinese food and the Micdoland meal.We could see them in any big cities.

1.其实，全球后工业化过程中，看看上海浦东、吉隆坡双子塔和美国世贸废墟等为“第一高楼”争得打破头，看看一幢楼里一模一样的房子高一层即贵一万元，便可明白人类这种登高望远的野心。即使“上九天揽月”也不再是嫦娥或库布里克的奥德赛之梦了，从加加林的首航和阿姆斯特朗的“一小步”，到美国富翁狄托那次昂贵却货真价实的太空旅游，人类才花了二十几年。据说两年内将启动的Sub-Orbital
Flights子轨道飞行，每人只需5万美金就可以预定座位了。如果张雨生还活着的话，想去月球他就去吧

2.有观点就必然有差异，即使是不同的声音在媒体中也都拥有了发表的空间（凤凰卫视的《时事辩论会》节目中，拥战派和反战派的嘉宾就吵得不亦乐乎）。这充分证明适当地拓广舆论空间，并不会打破一个社会的秩序和稳定。相反恰恰是在不同观点的冲撞中，使得公众得以从不同的角度接受信息、思考问题，而一种平衡的舆论机制正在潜移默化中自发形成。

3.上海在缩短与国际大都市硬件上的时差的成绩还体现在城市天际线的高度上。1932年，24层的上海国际饭店建成，当时号称远东第一高楼，并在50年内保持着上海第一高楼的身份，直到——深圳超过了它，北京超过了它，上海自身以几千座摩天建筑超过了它。任何一座最高建筑最多只能“各领高度三五年”，然后被更高的建筑取代，这种建筑的宿命与城市努力缩短国际时差的动机是一致的。
